Two 36 months PhD positions are available in the Cognitive Psychology & Neuroscience Group (http://webpsy.uni-graz.at/cognitive/) at the Department of Psychology, University of Graz.

The positions are available immediately (as of 28 May 2015).

The

Search: Investigating Online Processing of Targets and Distractors with
Fixation-Related Potentials and Fixation Based Event-Related fMRI
Analysis” (PIs C. Körner & A. Ischebeck) funded by the Austrian

The
project uses combinations of eye tracking and EEG/ERP or fMRI to
